Somali Pirates collecting ships like toys

So now those enterprising pirate guys have hijacked a grain ship:
A Hong Kong cargo ship loaded with wheat bound for Iran has been hijacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden, the official Xinhua agency said on Tuesday citing China's maritime search and rescue centre.
There were 25 crew members on board, none of them from Hong Kong or the Chinese mainland. The ship was carrying 36,000 tonnes of wheat to Iran's Bandar Abbas port, the report said.

So lesseee... a battalion of tanks and small arms... a supertanker of oil to fuel them... enough wheat to feed a most of Somalia for a week or so... and who knows what else.
You gotta believe it's just a matter of time before someone goes in 'heavy' and starts shooting the crap out of these priate villages.
